Septic shock is the most common type of vasodilatory shock,very frequently associated with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.The primary cause for concern in cases such as this is
A)That septic shock is always accompanied by major hemorrhage
B)Chemical mediators involved in promoting the immune response, increase peripheral blood pressure
C)Immune inflammatory mediators trigger decreased peripheral circulation and potential edema
D)Reduced peripheral blood pressure impairs venous return and impedes arterial flow to organs
E)Both immune inflammatory mediators trigger decreased peripheral circulation and potential edema and reduced peripheral blood pressure impairs venous return and impedes arterial flow to organs are correct

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Septic shock is triggered by the release of immune inflammatory mediators, which results in decreased peripheral circulation and potential edema. This also leads to reduced peripheral blood pressure, which impairs venous return and impedes arterial flow to organs, causing multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Therefore, both choice C and D are correct. Choice A is incorrect because septic shock is not always accompanied by major hemorrhage, and choice B is incorrect because chemical mediators involved in promoting the immune response may actually cause vasodilation and decrease blood pressure.
